The lead ball for Cristiano Ronaldo? The Portuguese striker did not respond this Tuesday when he had to save his team, led 1-0 by Al-Taawon in the round of 16 of the Saudi Arabian Cup.
Al-Nassr nevertheless obtained a penalty after added time (90th + 6) but Ronaldo missed his attempt. The shot from the five-time Ballon d’Or, who had chosen to shoot with force, flew into the stands.
Too bad for Ronaldo, who scored 9 goals and delivered 3 assists in 12 matches in all competitions. Too bad also for Al-Nassr, who loses an opportunity to win a trophy this season.
Since the arrival of CR7, the Riyadh club has only won the Arab Cup for Champion Clubs in 2023. This season, Al-Nassr is third in the Saudi championship, six points behind champion Al-Hilal after eight days. The Yellow and Blue are also still in the Champions League race.
